Research Programma “MAGENDA” – MAinstreaming GENDer equality in Academia
Main coordinator: Pokhara University, Nepal
Implementation period: 1 November 2024 – 31 October 2027
Funding: Erasmus+
MAGENDA aims to support Asian HEIs in introducing and enforcing policies that promote gender equality at institutional level. This requires the transfer of ‘know-how’ in establishing and implementing GEPs through a holistic approach targeting, first, HEI staff by involving them in capacity building trainings, and second, HEI students by gaging their interest in leading awareness raising actions.
In addition, the project aspires to build synergies with civil society and policy stakeholders at local and national levels to create a multiplier effect and yield systemic change. The MAGENDA project will be implemented in two Asian least-developed countries, namely Bangladesh and Nepal, bringing together six Asian Universities, two Universities and two research organisations from the EU.

Research Project "GEO-POWER-EU - Empowering the Geopolitical EU in the Eastern Neighbourhood and the Western Balkans'',
Main Coordinator: University of the Peloponnese
Partners: Consortium of 14 partners from 12 countries.
Duration of the project: 1 June 2024 - 31 May 2027

Starting in June 2024 and continuing for three years, a consortium of 14 partner institutions, coordinated by the University of the Peloponnese, has embarked on the “GEO-POWER-EU: Empowering the Geopolitical EU in the Eastern Neighbourhood and the Western Balkans” project. The project is funded by the European Union’s H2020 Research and Innovation programme. In the wake of the war in Ukraine, the European Union has moved to enhance its geopolitical influence beyond its immediate borders, particularly in the Western Balkans (WB) and Eastern Partnership (EaP) countries. This shift underscores an urgent need to bolster the EU’s strategic thinking and actions. Consequently, GEO-POWER-EU is based on the premise that the EU’s enlargement and Eastern neighbourhood policies require revision to reflect a new geopolitical vision for these regions. The primary objective of the GEO-POWER-EU project is to enhance the security dimension of the EU’s policies in the Eastern Neighbourhood and the Western Balkans. The project aspires to develop a comprehensive EU strategy for these regions, taking into consideration foresight concerning the strategic ambitions of other geopolitical actors. GEO-POWER-EU will:
- propose ideas for the adaptation of the EU Enlargement policy and the reform Eastern Partnership policy
- assess the influence of other geopolitical actors and provide strategic foresight about the prospects of geopolitical competition in the two regions
- explore the growth of the EU’s ability to contain military threats
- propose a comprehensive and multidimensional EU strategy that will guide relations with the countries in the Western Balkans and the Eastern neighborhood.

Research Programme “Social Impact Manager (SIM)”, Erasmus+ (EDU-2022-PI-ALL-INNO)
Main Coordinator: University of the Peloponnese
Partners: Consortium of 14 partners from 6 countries: Greece, italy, France, Austria, Croatia, Belgium, Ireland.
Duration of the project: 2023-2026
Image
The aim of the SIM project is to gradually change the attitudes and perceptions of society towards the concept of social value, creating conditions in which the invocation of social value and social impact will increasingly become a prerequisite for the implementation of actions, initiatives and investments. The term social impact is used interchangeably with the term social outcome or social benefit. In this context, the SIM project seeks to establish the role of the Social Impact Manager as a new profession that will identify the values created by the allocation of funds, while creating a more effective system of social control. Ex-ante social impact assessment contributes to a) a holistic approach to value from the economic, environmental and social aspects, b) providing reliable and meaningful information through numerical results on the effectiveness of actions, c) improving the evaluative capacity of all those affected by the implementation of projects, actions and investments, d) gradually changing attitudes and perceptions as to what is considered socially beneficial, and e) improving the efficiency/effectiveness in terms of cost.
